Hey girl, oh beautiful girl!
Male: The heart is like soft wax, dear girl!
Female: Hey, you are a beauty!
Male: At the touch of fingers, it softens, dear girl!
Hey girl, oh beautiful girl!
Male: Let the shyness leave your eyes, dear girl!
Female: Hey, you are a Tamil girl!
Male: Learn his native tongue, dear girl!
Em mum mum maa maa
Em mum mum maa maa
Em mum mum maa maa
Em mum mum maa maa
Who are you, where did you come from?
You gave wings to my heart.
Who are you, stepping into my peaceful sleep?
You gave dreams to my eyes.
For a few moments, like a child,
For a few moments more, like God,
And most of the time, even greater than that,
You have become.
Like the blood that gives life,
Like a mountain peak reaching into the sky,
With every passing day, even greater than that,
You have become.
Hey girl, oh beautiful girl!
Male: The heart is like soft wax, dear girl!
Chorus: Hey, you are a beauty!
At the touch of fingers, it softens, dear girl!
Hey girl, oh beautiful girl!
Male: Let the shyness leave your eyes, dear girl!
Chorus: Hey, you are a Tamil girl!
Male: Learn his native tongue, dear girl!
In another pure world altogether,
I am blossoming because of him.
Through my whole body, a tender feeling
Flows through me because of him.
He does not have a single penny,
Nor even a trace of worldly human ways,
Yet to him, completely and wholeheartedly,
I gave my heart.
Like a stage when the curtain rises,
Like a summer day when the mist clears,
Like clothes soaked through by the rain,
I have become...
Hey girl, oh beautiful girl!
Male: The heart is like soft wax, dear girl!
Chorus: Hey, you are a beauty!
At the touch of fingers, it softens, dear girl!
Hey girl, oh beautiful girl!
Male: Let the shyness leave your eyes, dear girl!
Chorus: Hey, you are a Tamil girl!
Male: His native tongue...
You embraced the trees, plants, and vines,
You gently wiped the petals of the flowers,
If I place myself into your hands,
What will you do?
You were born as a child of vibrant colors,
You grew up in the lap of tigers,
If I surrender myself like a deer to you,
What will you do?
I told you never to change,
And I accepted you just as you are.
Even so, I wondered what your truth was,
Tell me, who are you?
Who are you, where did you come from?
You gave wings to my heart.
Who are you, stepping into my peaceful sleep?
You gave dreams to my eyes.
For a few moments, like a child,
For a few moments more, like God,
And most of the time, even greater than that,
You have become.
Like the blood that gives life,
Like a mountain peak reaching into the sky,
With every passing day, even greater than that,
You have become.
Hey girl, oh beautiful girl!
